Take Me as I Am, O Savior (EN 2404)

1

Take me as I am, O Savior

Better I can never be;

Thou alone canst bring me nearer

Self but draws me far from Thee.

I can never, I can never, I can never

But within Thy wounds be saved,

But within Thy wounds be saved.

2

Wearied of the desert journey

Which through pain and peril goes,

I have failed, alone, to conquer

E’en the meanest of my foes.

But the strongest, but the strongest, but the strongest,

Flies before Thy glorious Name,

Flies before Thy glorious Name.

3

Calvary’s blood the weak exalteth

More than conquerors to be;

Calvary’s blood the strong abaseth

Myriad hosts to bow to Thee.

O revive me, O revive me, O revive me

With a breeze from Calvary,

With a breeze from Calvary.

4

I will trust Thy might unmeasured

Great the work that marks Thy way;

Thou hast death, and Thou hast Satan,

Thou hast hell beneath Thy sway;

Hill of Calv’ry! Hill of Calv’ry! Hill of Calv’ry!

I shall praise for evermore.
